LIVING IN AUSTRALIA

Traditions & Culture: Australian culture is as broad and varied as the country’s landscape. Australia is multicultural and multiracial and this is reflected in the country’s food, lifestyle and cultural practices and experience. Australia has an important heritage from its indigenous people, which plays a defining role in the cultural landscape. This diversity of influences creates a cultural environment in Australia that is lively, energized, innovative and outward looking.

Food: The meat pies and pasties had their connection to what was considered the staple foods of the 1800s:

• beef, pork or mutton (the meat of adult sheep)

• flour, usually made into bread or damper, a dense, thick bread

• tea, considered a necessity, even when other items were scarce.

Safety: While Australia is generally a safe place to live and study, it is still important that you take precautions to reduce the chance of an incident occurring.
